6.5/10	"The concept was great, but the film was not. Not only is director Christine Jeffs a bit rusty, but first-time writer Megan Holley's script was what really pulled this down even further." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 19, 2008	Sunshine Cleaning (2008)	n/a
9/10	"*It really reminds me of the days of Clerks* and Reservoir Dogs at Sundance, where the movies are brave and energetic and yet still have that very independent feeling.*" -- FirstShowing.net* Posted Jan 19, 2008	The Wackness (2008)	66%
9/10	"J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves have created a new classic monster movie. It is everything you expect and it's also nothing you expect. This movie feels so real that it's not even a movie, it's an entire incredible experience." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 16, 2008	Cloverfield (2008)	78%
9.5/10	"If that question were posed to Ben Affleck on whether he should jump ship from acting to directing, the answer is a resounding 'yes!'" -- FirstShowing.net Posted Oct 9, 2007	Gone Baby Gone (2007)	94%

9/10	"This is just one part of what makes it such a brilliant film - you get to explore the story, the characters, and the locations in great depth." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 29, 2007	The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)	75%
8.5/10	"It's hard to consider laughing at such a sad story, but pulling that off as well as it did shows Julian Schnabel's immense capability as a filmmaker." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 13, 2007	The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)	94%
6.5/10	"*As much as I really wanted to love the free-spirited Into the Wild, Sean Penn is a terrible director and the story suffers from his inexperience in great direction." -- FirstShowing.net* Posted Sep 13, 2007	Into the Wild (2007)	83%
5.5/10	"Once you wade through those annoying elements, the point-of-view experience was quite thrilling but hardly scary." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 13, 2007	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	61%
9/10	"The result is a genuinely laugh-out-loud funny film that hits perfectly on so many notes, whether you've personally experienced one of the situations or not." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 12, 2007	Young People Fucking (2008)	80%
8/10	"*Ang Lee is definitely a master of his craft and Lust, Caution* truly shines with his brilliance in a few moments - at least for part of the film, not every last minute of its 157 minutes.*" -- FirstShowing.net* Posted Sep 12, 2007	Lust, Caution (2007)	70%
7/10	"While nearly each and every song sung on screen was exhilarating, there were scenes and moments that felt unnecessarily added and pointlessly featured." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Sep 12, 2007	Across the Universe (2007)	54%
8/10	"I really enjoyed Ira and Abby and am glad I found this hidden gem. Jennifer Westfeldt wrote the screenplay as well, defining her character that is so incredibly original I'm surprised she hasn't already made it big time with these creations." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jul 9, 2007	Ira & Abby (2007)	66%
7.5/10	"It was a one-man show and Paulo Costanzo delivered it with as much fervor and flavor as an Oscar winning performance." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Apr 12, 2007	Everything's Gone Green (2007)	69%
8.5/10	"The trio of Shia LaBeouf, Aaron Yoo, and Sarah Roemer are a vibrant and wonderful combination on screen, and its these young actors that really make Disturbia such a fantastic movie to kick off this summer." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Apr 12, 2007	Disturbia (2007)	67%
9/10	"Grindhouse is a cinematic experience unlike anything I've ever seen and it will change the way you look at Robert Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, and the movie theater forever." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Apr 6, 2007	Grindhouse (2007)	81%
8/10	"A very well made and visually extraordinary, entirely fun, true-to-its-roots film for which writer, director, and Turtles fan Kevin Munroe deserves a lot of credit." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Mar 23, 2007	TMNT (2007)	33%
8/10	"Bong Joon-ho's vision and storytelling combined with fantastic performances, great CGI, and beautiful imagery deliver one of the most enjoyable films of 2007." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Mar 7, 2007	The Host (2007)	92%
8.5/10	"Zodiac has all the makings of a great film, including better filmmaking and technical aspects than most movies, but its unconstrained story and lengthy structure bring about a collapse by the end." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Mar 7, 2007	Zodiac (2007)	89%
9/10	"300 is a film that will earn a definitive place in comic book adaptation rankings and still be remembered by many." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Mar 7, 2007	300 (2007)	60%
9.5/10	"Truly only someone like Frank Oz could pull off such delirious and masterful hilarity surrounding a death and a funeral, and still make you smile in the end." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Mar 7, 2007	Death at a Funeral (2007)	62%

7/10	"It's an entertaining film but struggles in its story and character development, but the visual effects and badass nature of Ghost Rider help fuel it back into the positive." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 16, 2007	Ghost Rider (2007)	28%
7.5/10	"This romantic comedy isn't a perfect romance film, but it provides just the right amount of energy, entertainment, and shine to be thoroughly enjoyable." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 14, 2007	Music and Lyrics (2007)	63%
7.5/10	"It's a fine creation, one of the better of the films out in theaters currently in 2007, and has plenty of strong elements - including Gaspard Ulliel as Hannibal and a riveting and well-defined style." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 14, 2007	Hannibal Rising (2007)	15%
5/10	"*Although certainly well made, the only issue with Manda Bala* is you have to be overly interested in the subject and open to the disturbing content that it uses to tell the story.*" -- FirstShowing.net* Posted Feb 5, 2007	Manda Bala (2007)	80%
4.5/10	"The film is just a little too stupid, like Idiocracy, but with even worse filmmaking aspects..." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 5, 2007	Smiley Face (2007)	67%
5.5/10	"Like David Lynch and sometimes like Terry Gilliam, you just have to respect the artistic values that [Anthony] Hopkins was going for and what he did achieve in the end." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Feb 5, 2007	Slipstream (2007)	24%
8/10	"Although the subject matter is very sad, director and writer Tamara Jenkins is able to define what is a very comedic and enjoyable film that is not at all depressing." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 30, 2007	The Savages (2007)	91%
4/10	"*Unfortunately The Good Night* is vastly underwhelming in its attempt to be profound and a rather poor film from Jake Paltrow.*" -- FirstShowing.net* Posted Jan 30, 2007	The Good Night (2007)	26%
8.5/10	"Throw in a classic culture clash of French exchange students at the school and Will and Lee Carter's secretive desire to film their own Rambo film to enter a television competition, and you've got the makings of one most exciting films at Sundance." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 30, 2007	Son of Rambow (2008)	75%
6.5/10	"*The biggest issue with Padre Nuestro* is that is consistently depressing and repetitive and ends on a downright hopeless and disheartening note.*" -- FirstShowing.net* Posted Jan 30, 2007	Sangre de Mi Sangre (2008)	83%
6/10	"If you love dogs, then look forward for the opportunity to finally see this film, otherwise it can be easily passed up." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 30, 2007	Year of the Dog (2007)	69%
8.5/10	"*On top of the story, The Go-Getter* has an amazingly well-defined gritty visual style, some of the best cinematography in any film at Sundance.*" -- FirstShowing.net* Posted Jan 30, 2007	The Go-Getter (2008)	40%
4.5/10	"The Ten seems much more like a Hollywood fun fest of celebrity friends looking to get a cameo rather than a well-made comedic compilation - it's a combination of every bad comedy and cheesy idea in recent Hollywood history." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 29, 2007	The Ten (2007)	39%
7/10	"Chasing Ghosts is chock full of plenty of realistic 80's nostalgia that will give any child-of-the-80's a hard on for arcade gaming all over again." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 29, 2007	Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade (2006)	n/a
2/10	"Although I consider it to be one of the worst films of Sundance, others may find it just mystifying in its editing and completely rule-breaking structure." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 29, 2007	On the Road with Judas (2007)	60%
8/10	"Fido is ruthlessly zombietic and timelessly entertaining." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 29, 2007	Fido (2007)	68%
9/10	"There is not a better duo available for these characters than Evan Rachel Wood and Michael Douglas; Douglas is an irreplaceable actor and this film would not at all be what it is without his involvement." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 29, 2007	King of California (2007)	63%
7.5/10	"It's filled with witty high school humor that can easily fit into the mainstream cinematic world and will certainly be embraced by current generations." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 29, 2007	Rocket Science (2007)	84%
7/10	"*The film is a mix of Little Miss Sunshine, a New Zealand Napoleon Dynamite, and any other nerdy stuck-in-the-80's hilarious comedies you can think of." -- FirstShowing.net* Posted Jan 29, 2007	Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)	54%
8.5/10	"The film features brilliant lines of spoken dialogue that elicit beauty as grand as Angela herself, whether heard in French or read in American as subtitles." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 29, 2007	Angel-A (2007)	43%
8/10	"It's really hard to like a movie with this much tragedy, and I mean a lot of tragedy, but David Gordon Green has created a film that you can enjoy, and that's when you know you've found an exceptional cinematic gem." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 29, 2007	Snow Angels (2008)	67%
4/10	"An interesting concept that fails terribly in its actual execution - too light, too playful and too comedic..." -- FirstShowing.net Posted Jan 24, 2007	The Nines (2007)	68%
